A vertically oriented drypoint print on off-white paper depicts two figures in the upper right. A woman in profile faces left, her hair tied with a ribbon, as she handles the long, wavy tresses of a person facing away. Dense cross-hatched lines create a dark background behind their heads. Much of the composition is left sparse, featuring faint, light scratches and a signature in the bottom right corner.
